later than formerly. The night ex-
press going south leaves here at 1.35,
a. M, three minutes earlier than form
erly, and the night mail at 1888 a. M,
five minutes later than before.

Too Much Geography.

st. ,Johnsbury is very desirable
place to live in. 1t has enough of ev-
erything desirable and too much of
some things. One of the things that
it has a surplus of is geography. There
are altogether too many Centres" here
and the jewellers in each centre fail to
understand that what benefits any one
part generally benefits the whole. The
now defunct shirt factory scheme fur
nished an illustration of this fact. One
man on the start "talked" of raising
$4,000 if the factory was located in
Summerville, others would subscribe
if it were put in Paddock village and
the rest wanted it either on Railroad
street, the Plain, Fairbanks village or
in some other centre. This particular
scheme never had any solid foundation
anyway but it served to emphasize the
fact that one of the greatest evils that
afflict st. Johnsbury is too much geog-
raphy.
The Busy HOOdlum.
This hoodlum question is really
getting to be of some Importance. One
evening last week two fellows tipped
over and broke handsome terra Gotta
vase in C.. S. Hastings front yard.
The following night these or some 9TH
er fellows amused themselves by break
ing up the settees on the school house
common and then went to the front of
the North church, where wOrkmen had
just put in position the granite caps to
the wall which they had been repair
ing, and threw the caps out of place.
The perpetrators of this mischief will
be discovered sooner or later and
when discovered they should be treat
ed to all the penalties provided by
law. 1t really seems as though they
might be brought to time at an early
date.

C. A. Whitcller met with the mar
rowest sort of an escape yesterday.
While driving down South Main street
and just as he was turning into Rail-
road street below w. p. Fairbanks's,
the horse was startled by hand car
that was passing under the dry bridge,
turned a little too sharp and turned
the carriage exactly bottom up. Mean
while Mr.. Whitcher had jumped out
and escaped with hardly a scratch. He
kept hold of the reins and the horse
did not run and no serious damage was
done.

MODERN COOKING AND MOD
ERN LIVING have brought it
on. 1t comes upon us una
wares. The patients have
pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at. fist dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a green;sh colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod-
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up sud
denly. The bowels become
cOstive; the skin is dry and
hotat times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high col
ored, depositing a sediment
after standing. There is fire.
quently a splitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a
swedish taste; this Is fire.
quently attended with palpi-

toms are in turn present. It
is thought that nearly one,half
of our population has this dis
ease in someof its varied forms.

A PITCHED BATTLE.
Railroaders and City Authorities Fight
Over Grade.

ONST d
CLEVELAND, o., July 13.-A special from
Youngstown, O., says: "a regular pitched
battle between about fifty Pittsburg and
Western railroad employees, mostly Italians,
on one side and the city police force, with
twenty-five specials, sixty of the engineer
and street commissioners force, every mem
ber of the City Council and fire department,
under the leadership of Marshal Williams,
ON the other, took place this after
noon. Contractor Kelly, of the Pittsburg
and Western road, had construction train
across Mill street. making roadbed about
three feet above its grade, when the city
forces. at given signal blown on the fire
whistle, put in their appearance and two
well directed streams from three-inch noz-
zles soon drowned the railroaders out
They deserted their locomotive and cars and
the police mounted the locomotive. The
railroaders rallied and climbed upon it
and a battle took place. Revolvers
were drawn and the police used clubs and
both parties fought until they all tumbled
out Of the engine cab. By this time 1000
people congregated and hand to hand fight
occurred. The police again mounted the
locomotive and pulled the train out of
reach Several arrests have been made
among them that of Contractor Kelly, who
is in the lookup. The city forces are now
shoveling away the distractions"

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
A Negro Hurled 80 Feet from q
Bridge Near Athens.

A Negro Hurled 80 Feet from a
Bridge Near Athens.
ATHENS. GA, July 13.-This morning as
the 12 o'clock train on the Northeastern rail
road was approaching the bridge over the
Oconee river, three miles from here, the en-
gineer discovered a negro man on the bridge
trying to reach the other end before the
train caught him The engineer
blew for brakes and reversed
his engine, but before the
train could be stopped the engine had struck
him and thrown him from the bridge, dis
lance of some thirty feet. The negro was
put on the train in an unconscious condition
and brought to this city where physician
pronounced him painfully but not seriously
hurt At last accounts he was doing as
well as could be expected. He says his name
is Tom Yerby, and that he had been black
berry hunting.
Robert L. Reaves who was shot yester-
day by Alderman !. V. Murray, is still
alive and is resting quietly tonight. The
physicians say that the ball entered his
stomach and passed through the top part Of
his liver to within a quarter of an inch
from the skin on his back, where it was re
moved late yesterday afternoon. There Is
no possible bope for his recovery. Murray
has not been arrested, though there are sew
eral parties in hot pursuit His friends say
that when the time comes he will give him
self up to the law.
